It isn't that you're cheap it is that you merely can't bear paying for something that isn't up to your standards. There is something about it that simply rubs you the wrong way and you simply cannot let it go. You've walked out of movies and concerts, sent back food at restaurants, even returned half-read books to bookstores. You suspect a lot of your friends think that you are a bit of a lunatic but to you it's a matter of principle; when people are prepared to buy anything, it is no surprise that standards keep slipping further and further each and every year. It's profoundly depressing.
When you find something you approve of you enthusiastically buy it. You have one small shelf of carefully chosen books, a very select collection of DVDs and, what is, in your mind, an impeccable CD library.
You download a lot of music from the internet but unlike most people you do not keep any of it. You listen to an album you've downloaded 3 or 4 times (assuming it warrants it - and most don't) and if you approve you buy the album before you trash the download otherwise you just trash it and move on. It's been more than twelve years since you last returned a CD to a store; and that was a gift.
Movies though have often proven more troublesome. There are, of course, movies which you know you are going to love. You saw There Will Be Blood twice in the theatre, The Unforgiven three times; in both cases you now own the deluxe edition Blu-Ray DVDs. But when it comes to quality Hollywood movies, sure things are few and far between in your opinion.
## I absolutely adore movies, I truly do. I simply think there is plenty of garbage in the theatres passing for cinema these days and I don't want to support that.
Well, that's fair enough. With ticket prices the way they are a lot of people have stopped taking chances on movies in the theatre until they're absolutely sure a film is going to be worth the price of admission. Nowadays you can watch movie trailers online, of course but even mediocre movies can sometimes have compelling trailers. If there are movies that you want to see but don't want to chance in the theatre why not watch them at home? You can stream movies free of charge from any number of sites these days.
## I seldom rent movies anymore. The discs are often terrible condition and besides if it's actually a good movie I want to own it.
Rather than pay for a movie twice you can always watch them online the first time. Subsequently, if you enjoy them you can go out and obtain the DVD for all the extras and if you don't like them you don't even have to finish watching them.
## The problem is, I do not want my very first exposure to a great film to be a grainy, poor quality internet version.
It is worth noting that online movies have evolved quite a bit in the past handful of years. These days when you stream movies free to your computer or laptop you should expect to get high quality video and audio. The competition online is steep and sites with poor content don't last long.
## What is the selection like though?
The selection of movies and TV shows available online today is vast. Current films, classic films, foreign films, documentaries, independent films, they are all available.
Whether you are searching for streaming TV shows, movie trailers, or full length feature films, there are websites out there to satisfy you. Google "stream movies for free" and start checking out the sites that come up. If you're not satisfied with the quality or selection of a site simply move on to the next one. Who knows, you may just find some films that you missed in the theatre that you're going to want for your Blu-Ray collection.
